Well, the promised letters home from my Dad have yet to materialize. I’ve still got the plan to do it and hope to pick them up from Octagon in the next few weeks, but I didn’t make it down there as planned. Instead, I’ve been traveling more than I’m used to doing: Greenville, AL on Monday, Livingston, AL on Wednesday and next week to Orange Beach for several days. And lots of meetings in between.
I’ve really started to enjoy my business trips to West Alabama, though. I almost always run into someone I know–usually several people. I spent some good quality time talking with someone yesterday about saving the old high school in Thomaston, Alabama. It is the oldest standing school in Alabama, but it is in great danger of falling in. Mama taught there and lots of my sisters went there to school. I’m trying to research exactly how to save it, but haven’t hit on the best idea yet–and have some real problems with some of the elected folks near there. We’ll see.
